1/48 Hobbycraft Curtiss P-40B Warhawk, PTO, USAAC

by Chuck A. Villanueva on July 10, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is my contribution for this little mini unofficial P-40 group build. This is my first P-40 that I picked up at a show in Ct. back in the mid 90's. One of a few early P-40 kits to come along. I built this around 98-99 or so before I [...]

One more time…. the Mauve 48th scale P-40N

by Jack Mugan on July 9, 2014 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

The third time is a charm. I could not pass up the opportunity to do a P-40 in a natural metal finish either.

Deja Vu all over again....49th FG P-40N

by Bill Koppos on July 9, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 7 ≡

Saw Ralph's model, and said hey that looks familiar. This is the Hasegawa 1/48 version, decals came from an aftermarket sheet, sorry I don't recall the maker. They do look sweet in NMF too bad the P-40Q didn't catch on...

The Mack “Hoover Dam ” Dump Truck and Marion Steam Shovel, 1931

by Mike Maynard on July 9, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 9 ≡

I'm not really a truck or car modeler, but once in a while I like to build something different. I've always been a fan of construction equipment, especially older, cable operated excavators. There's not much in the way of steam shovel kits [...]

About the 50th P-40 here lately!

by Ralph Clements on July 8, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

As soon as I started building this Italeri 1/48 P-40N it seems like they started coming out of the woodwork on Imodeler - which is fine with me, I love seeing everyone's different takes on this classic, a favorite of mine. In my first post [...]

Lindberg (Inpact) 1/48 Bristol Bulldog

by Tom Cleaver on July 7, 2014 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This model was done in around 2003, having been purchased a couple years earlier. Finding the SMER kit with the better decals at an "aftermarket decal sheet price" prompted me to pull the kit out of the closet and proceed. The [...]
